The actress, who married the Australian footballer in 2002, has previously spoken out about putting her career on hold to bring up her children Taylor, 12, and daughters, Ruby, 10, Matilda, five, and two-year-old Dolly.

She took a six year hiatus from her profession.

The presenter told the weekly magazine that the couple consciously decided to focus on Harry's career as a professional footballer but had always agreed that when the time came for him to retire she would return to work.

'Harry has almost been pushing me out the door encouraging me to do stuff. He's really supportive. It's all about juggling and making sure you make people happy - that's the most important thing. You can't buy happiness,' said the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! alumni.

A huge fan of the show, Sheree has been watching Neighbours since it first aired in 1985.

She said to Channel Ten: 'I've been watching Neighbours since the very beginning so to grow up watching a show and to now be part of it is unbelievable. Neighbours is a huge part of the Australian culture just like our soaps in the UK.'

The jet setting star who landed in Melbourne this week to film for the six week-long role is looking forward to spending more time in the city.

'I just feel like I’m coming home again. To be able to work in Melbourne for such an iconic soap is a real dream come true. Melbourne is a fantastic city with great weather, people and restaurants, what more could you need?

'I'm really looking forward to taking in Melbourne’s great coffee houses, they're amazing and catching up with friends for a night out in St Kilda.'

Her 35-year-old footballing legend husband recently retired from soccer after almost a two-decade-long career, playing his last game on April 12 against the Western Sydney Wanderers.
